Monthly Tango Practica each 3rd Sunday of the month from 4-5.30pm

14/10/2024

Hello folks, this is our last tango practica for two reasons: Firstly, Michael and Sarah have sold their home (Congratulations!!!) October is the last time we can use their space.
Secondly, we have run out of money. The rent so far was paid from fundraising I did at the beginning of the year. Thank you to all who contributed to make these practicas possible!
Since the Silly Season is almost upon us it feels like the practicas have come to a natural conclusion.
The practicas have been quite well attended, but at the moment I don't think I want to volunteer myself to run them for another year. If anybody else is keen to take on this task for 2025 I am sure the regulars will appreciate it!

October will be a big Tango month.
Sebastian Arrua's workshops at the beginning will add a lot more material to think about for those of you atttending.
For this reason I thought it would be good to get an additional practica in to solidify the material we have recently learned in Phil's classes at Floorspace.

Please bring a partner, preferably the one you attended Phil's classes with.

Hello, I've just confirmed with Sarah that the tango practica this Sunday can go ahead in spite of the home staging taking place. The couches will be moved to the side for us so there is plenty of space to dance! See you all there!

It's been a busy tango month with the Hamner Festival, Marian and Debbie's regular milongas and the Milonga del Barrio last weekend. However, one can never have too many shoes, too much money or too much tango!
I am looking forward to seeing you at our monthly tango practica. The tango practica is free and suitable for all levels of dancers, to practice things you have learned at class.
Please note that the practica is not teacher guided, however peer suport is available. It is best to organise to come with a partner to avoid disappointment.

Hello tangueros, why not approach someone in your next milonga or class to attend next Sunday's free tango practica with? Benefit from the spacious dancefloor to practice and improve on the latest things you are learning. All levels of dancers are welcome. Please note that no teachers are present at this practica, but peer support is available.
See you on the dance floor on Sunday!

The 3rd Sunday of the month has snuck up on us this time. It's only the 16!
Please organise a partner ahead of time to avoid disappointment, as often pairs want to stick togethe for the purpose of practising. Michael McGregor will be providing the music this Sunday

15/04/2024

Hello fellow tangueros. The third weekend of the month is rolling around which means a tango practica.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PRACTICA IS ON SATURDAYS THIS MONTH!
We are looking forward to seeing you at 14 Stanbury Ave (near Pioneer Stadium).
The practica is free. Donations are welcome to cover the rent for future practicas.
ALL WELCOME. Please pre-arrange a partner to attend with you.

Hello tangueros, a quick reminder that we have a tango practica coming up this Sunday from 4 - 5.30 pm.
I will be promoting this event at Marian's next beginner class this Wednesday 13 March as an opportunity to practice what they have learned so far.
There are some couples in the beginners class but also people by themselves - mainly followers.
Some helpers may be available to pair up with a beginner, but we may well need some extras.
Please make yourselves known to me if you are willing to come to practica with a new follower. You can do this via a message on facebook or talk to me at the next Floorspace milonga. We all know how hard the tango journey is as a beginner and how much effort and work Marian puts in to get people enthused. Buddying up with a beginner could go such a long way to encourage newbies to come to milongas once their course is finished. Thank you for your help!

Hello tangueros, a wee reminder that tango practica is on tomorrow from 4-5.30 at Taic Mhor, 14 Stanbury Ave.
Attending is free as we have fundraised for the rent.
Everyone is welcome. Please come with a practica partner to avoid frustration

A big thank you to all tangueros who already donated towards the rent for the Tango Practica to continue in 2024.
Together we have raised enough money so far for 7.4 tango practicas this year.

This means we are able to commence our practicas again next Sunday 18 February. I am hoping that we can raise the remaining $180 to cover the whole year (10 months), so I can stop pestering people for donations ...
Any amount you can give, no matter how small is helping!
Please make an internet transfer into the above bank account.
Alternatively, you can give me a cash donation and I will put it in the account on your behalf.

A big thank you to all who helped fund last year's monthly tango practicas. Because of the varying attendance of practicas, it is too challenging to pay the rent on a month-by-month basis. This is why, with your generous contributions I raised the rent ahead of time. We managed to have a monthly practica from February to November with an average of 4 to 8 pairs attending each practica.

Unfortunately now the coffers are empty. Please contribute something towards the $420 we need for the first six months of rent.

Provided we can raise the money by 15 February, the first practica will take place at Taic Mhor on Sunday 18 February from 4-5.30 pm and every 3rd Sunday of the month thereafter.

Account number: 02-0704-0423140-002.
All money will be refunded if we don't reach the target.
